Definitions

  • FIG. 1 shows a kettle 100 comprising a vessel 101.
  • the vessel comprises a spout 102 configured to assist in pouring water and in some kettles, for filling the kettle 100.
  • the kettle further comprises a handle 103, a lid 104 configured to close the vessel 101.
  • a lower portion 105 of the vessel 101 houses a heating element (not shown) capable of heating water contained in the vessel 101.
  • the heating elements are enclosed in a housing, in other prior art kettles the elements are exposed directly to the water.
  • the kettle 100 further comprises a power switch 106 to allow a user to turn the kettle on, thereby allowing the heating elements to heat up.
  • Some kettles comprise a water level indicator 107 that allows a user to see the level of water in the vessel.
  • the kettle 100 further comprises a housing 108 for control electronics.
  • Control electronics are used to control whether electric current is passed to the heating elements or not.
  • Control electronics usually comprise means to cut the electric current to the heating elements when the water in the vessel has reached the required temperature.
  • kettles with transparent vessels are that dirt can build up or the vessel can degrade to become opaque.
  • the water is 'hard', that is to say it contains magnesium and/or calcium ions in such quantities that unsightly deposits of scale can be formed on or around the heating element.
  • these unsightly deposits are o deleterious to the appearance of the kettle. Similar deposits from foodstuffs can build up in deep fat fryers, toaster, ovens, food processors and other kitchen appliances.
  • said wall is formed from a partially mirrored glass-ceramic.
  • Fig. 4 illustrates schematically a side elevation view of the kitchen appliance according to the first specific embodiment with the light source not illuminated.
  • Transparency is required to allow the wall 301 to transmit light from the light source 209 from within the vessel 202.
  • Resistance to thermal shock is required as the vessel 201 is required to contain boiling water. If the vessel 201 is filled with cold water after having just contained boiling water, the speed of cooling could lead to high thermal stresses in a material having a high thermal expansion coefficient.
  • the intensity of the reflected ambient light 307 is far greater than the intensity of the transmitted light 312 from inside the vessel 201.
  • the vessel 201 therefore appears to be mirrored and has an appearance similar to that of chrome. It is not apparent to a user that the vessel wall 301 comprises a substantially transparent material as the user cannot see through the transparent wall 301 owing to the intensity of the reflected light. 308. This hides any lime scale or dirt that has built up within the vessel 201 of the kettle 200.
  • an electric toaster can be equipped with a two- way mirror wall and a light source, the light source being configured to illuminate when the heating elements in the toaster are activated.
  • the kitchen appliance is a toaster
  • the vessel of the toaster is the chamber in which the food is toasted.
  • the vessel of the deep fat fryer is the vessel in which hot oil is contained.
  • the vessel when the appliance is not in use, the vessel appears to have a reflective non-transparent appearance.
  • the light source is illuminated and a wall of the vessel transmits light from the light source, thereby allowing a user to see into the vessel.
  • the vessel When in the "off' condition, where the light source is off, the vessel appears to be substantially fully reflective form outside the vessel, because there is not a strong enough light from inside the vessel to see the inside of the vessel. Rather, the ambient day light outside the kettle is reflected from the vessel wall and the inside of the vessel is obscured. However, in the "on" condition, the vessel appears to be substantially see - through from a position outside the vessel, because the power of the light source which illuminates the inside of the vessel is strong enough for the inside of the kettle to be viewed through the partially reflective vessel wall, even in daylight, where the day light reflects from the vessel wall back to the viewer.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un appareil de cuisine (200) comprenant un plateau de dégivrage (201). Une source lumineuse (209) est disposée pratiquement au niveau du plateau de dégivrage (201). Une paroi du plateau de dégivrage comprend un miroir semi-réfléchissant. Lorsque la source lumineuse (209) n'émet pas de lumière, la paroi réfléchit pratiquement la lumière ambiante, conférant à la paroi une apparence réfléchissante, non transparente. Lorsque la source lumineuse (209) émet de la lumière, la paroi transmet pratiquement la lumière en provenance de la source lumineuse, rendant la paroi pratiquement transparente de manière efficace et permettant à un utilisateur de voir à l'intérieur du plateau de dégivrage (201).
